I go to Vanier College (Montreal)
College is a new experience for me - It's Completely different from hishschool, as most of you would have guessed. More people, more courses, more responsibilities and more stress is all part of it, but what i wasn't prepared for was the mental exhaustion that came with it- i get so tired that my body cannot stand awake at 7pm (and i am a full-night-awake person so i have problems.), and Not to mention the STAIRS to get to some classes that i count as my everyday torture gym class.
The teachers are quite good and there is help EVERYWHERE for people who have problems, either it be in or out of classes. Most people are generally easy to meet and there are tons of activities and clubs to join during our long breaks. For instance, on wednesdays, after my first class at 10:30am, i have time to go all the way back north of Laval to see my friends and then go back to Vanier and still have 45 minutes to burn. Or i could study. Yea. Or i can go eat at McDonalds since it's so close (yeah!).
What's important is to never fall behind on projects because then you're Screwed.
I should know better.... although i do my projects ahead of time, i don't usually ask for help when i don't understand something, and i'm impatient for long equations in math so i fail most of my tests. Baaaaad me.
Yeah i know- this page is not great but i can do whatever the fuck i want and i'm just sharing my experience with anyone who wants to read and know.
I've taken Explorations 3 to get the prerequisites (a higher science and math) to get into Animal Health Technology (is that where i want to go?). This might take a semester (half a year) or two. If i pass all of it, it'll take only one. Everyone needs to take atleast 5 courses and at most 7 courses. I've taken 7. But one of my teachers is a real fucking idiot that i hate with a passion and i might drop the course.. We'll see.
